Thinking too much

Last night I went to the launch of two new books written by Mitch Symons, a friend of mine.

How to Avoid a Wombat's Bum

and
Where Do Nudists Keep Their Hankies?

The launch was held in a pub just off Oxford Street and Mitch wrote a fab quiz to make the evening go with a bang (along with the free booze and food). I was part of my usual Wednesday night quiz team the Crazy Cats (the name wasn't my idea). We all have particular strengths. Our downfall is that we think too much - five times we had the right answer and five times we had second thoughts. After the first round and two (wrong) second guesses, we vowed to go with our first thought - did we? Did we heck as like! Result: an honourable third place but those five lost points...

Moral of the story: stop thinking!
